There are always those pieces that you come across when sorting that you can’t figure out what they are. Most pieces have a number on it but the numbers are very small. Older versions of a piece may have no number. Some pieces are just hard to figure what they are or where in the Bricklink catalog they are. Below are some of those pieces. Click on the item number and you will go to the catalog listing for the piece on Bricklink or check my store availability
WATCH BEZEL ROUND: bb1008
This is one of the most asked pieces that you can come across while sorting. It is a bezel from a watch but it is listed in the Gear category.
CANISTER HANGER CLIP, BIONICLE BOHROK: x349
This isn’t really a piece. This is part of the container that the Bionicle Bohroks came in. It clipped onto the Bohrok so it could hang in the container.
BIONICLE KRANA HOLDER:41673
This is also from the Bohrok but it is a piece from the Bohrok and not the container. For whatever reason the piece doesn't have a number when most Bionicle pieces do
ELECTRIC MOTOR 9v MICROMOTOR PULLEY: 2983
The 9v Micromotor isn’t used anymore and is hard to findbut you might find the pulley that attaches to the motor.
VEHICLE TIPPER END FLAT WITH PINS: 3145
This one was last in a set from 1980 so you might not run into one. There is no number on the piece and you might not to look in the vehicle category for it
VEHICLE TIPPER END FLAT WITHOUT PINS: 30022
A piece that looks similar to the one above was still in use in 2016.
HINGE COUPLING NYLON: 650
This actually a hinge from the old Samsonite sets. Even though it is old, I do run into this one often. I never thought if it as a hinge when I first discovered one.
MINIFIGURE, BODY PART RACERS DRIVER: x351
This piece changed categories at one time on Bricklink. Now it is a minifig part but doesn’t make it easier to find.
TECHNIC ROTATION JOINT BALL LOOP: 47455
This is listed in the general Technic category. It can be hard to find since it technically it has never been in a Technic set.
MINIFIGURE WEAPON SPEAR TIP WITH FINS: 24482
This looks like a soft tip from a throwing dart. It is smaller than those but this one is a minifigure weapon for some reason
Often this is thought to be some plate modified piece. Actually this is a piece that falls off an old 4.5V motor. There used to be a catalog listing for it but was removed since this isn't supposed to come off the motor.
